Silver has been called both the “investment of the decade” by billionaire Eric Sprott and the “Devil’s Metal” by John Levin in the recent past. Those who have been brave enough to collect, invest, or stack silver can certainly attest to both perspectives. The precious metal skyrocketed in price to a high of $49.80 per ounce on the 25th of April 2011, before plummeting back down to the narrow trading range where it has languished for the better part of seven years. This has provided collectors, investors and stackers with an ideal opportunity to accumulate the metal, or equivalent investments, at historically low prices. In stark contrast to the price of the metal has been investment demand, which has been relentless. This investment demand has spurred a plethora of new silver bullion coin releases that have been a boon to collectors. The intent of this book is to provide a comprehensive guide for silver enthusiasts of all types, including collectors, investors and stackers, and all levels of expertise, from those looking at joining the ranks of silver enthusiasts to silver veterans. The guide is comprehensive in terms of both breadth and depth. Specifically, it contains well over two hundred pages of silver content specifically targeted at collectors, investors and stackers, including in excess of 400 original photos of silver coins from over forty countries. The book also lays out the case for silver, demonstrating in a clear and concise manner how the price of the underlying asset has very little downside and extraordinary upside if specific events come to fruition. Rather than dealing in generalities, the guide details specific accumulation strategies for all three types of silver enthusiasts. The 2018 edition is the first edition of what will be an annual release, expanded and updated based on feedback from the silver community.
